D)polar covalent because ionic and metallics include metals and nonpolar covalent wouldn’t work because it’s lewis for structure and en doesn’t match its requirements.
Add the reltive atomic mass of Ca and O which are 40 and 16 respectively after addition we get molecular mass of CaO which is 40+16=56 now divide atomic mass of O by molecular mass of CaO and multiply it with 100 as show n 16/56 *100=28.57%
Answer:
(A) fossil is the most useful.
It serves as an index fossil. The seashell is a great index fossil because it only appears in the sandstone layer in multiple locations in the same layer of time.
Explanation:
Answer:
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Silicon has 14 electrons
Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.
It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon
A. four atoms of calcium.
Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.
B. one atom of chlorine.
1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>
Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.
Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).
D. three atoms of hydrogen.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.
Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.
Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)
The first most obvious thing to note is when naming transitional metals, you have to state its charge with roman numerals (except for 1 if I remember correctly). For example, Iron (lll), iron has a charge of 3.
